Nicole is 20...something, living in the DC Metro Area.

Nicole's blog features restaurant reviews, recipes and bento, as influenced by her family who is

ethnically Chinese, Cherokee, German and American but culturally Hawai'ian.

All of this gives her recipes an uniqueness that's refreshing.

With Easter in a few weeks I decided to try her recipe for: Coconut Macaroons.

I had to laugh when my grand-son thought they looked like eggs..and

he thought the spring green sixlets looked like peas!

These cute "eggs" and "peas" would look great on your Easter Brunch table.
